Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.0
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.5
- Seen on kernel-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64.debug and kernel-2.6.32-431.20.3.el6.x86_64.debug
- Does not affect systems ealier than RHEL 6.5 as the Open vSwitch (OVS) module was only introduced in 6.5.
- OpenStack Tech Preview kernels, based on RHEL 6.4,are no longer supported, such as kernel-2.6.32-358.123.2.openstack.el6
- Open vSwitch
Special Note
Open vSwitch and OpenStack related capabilities have been added into RHEL 6.5 to provide feature enablement for Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RH-OSP) and are only supported with RH-OSP.
While a Red Hat OpenStack Preview used a modified kernel based on RHEL 6.4 to include various feature enablement for Open vSwitch and OpenStack technologies, these features are only tested and supported on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform. This special RHEL 6.4 kernel-2.6.32-358.123.2.openstack.el6 was intended only as a Tech Preview and is no longer supported by Red Hat engineering.
This is further explained in RHEL 6.5 Technical Release Notes:
Open vSwitch (OVS) is an open-source, multi-layer software switch designed to be used as a virtual switch in virtualized server environments. Starting with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, the Open vSwitch kernel module is included as an enabler for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform. Open vSwitch is only supported in conjunction with Red Hat products containing the accompanying user-space packages. Without theses packages, Open vSwitch will not function and cannot be used with other Red Hat Enterprise Linux variants.
The various OpenStack community platforms, including the RDO distribution of the OpenStack, is not supported by Red Hat Global Support Services.
Please refer to Is the RDO distribution of OpenStack supported by Red Hat?.
